Series circuit

Electric circuit with devices connected in such a way that the electric current through each of them is the same.

Parallel Circuit

Electric circuit with two or more devices connected in such a way that the same voltage acts across each one and any single one completes the circuit independently of the others.

Echo

- the fraction of energy carried by the reflected sound wave is large if the surface is rigid and smooth and less if the surface is soft and irregular. Sound energy not carried by the reflected sound wave is carried by the transmitted (absorbed wave).

Reverberation

Distinguish between noise and music
